During the Christmas season one hears of "
yuletide", as in the words to secular Christmas song "
Have yourself a merry little Christmas". The first performance of note was in 1944 by Judy Garland in the musical "
Meet Me in St. Louis". Here is how the original song started. You can see why it was changed.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
It may be your last.
Next year we may all be living in the past.
What is a lamb’s favorite Christmas carol?
Have Yourself a Mary Little Christmas.
